<h2><a name="over"></a>Overview</h2>

<p>LuaProfiler is a time profiler designed to help finding bottlenecks on your
<a href="http://www.lua.org">Lua</a> program.</p>

<p>If you use LuaProfiler into your program,
it will generate a log of all your function calls and their respective running times.
You can use this log to generate a summary of the functions your program uses,
along with how long it stayed in each of them, or you can import the log into a spreadsheet
for further analysis.</p>

<p>LuaProfiler is free software and uses the same
<a href="license.html">license</a> as Lua 5.1.</p>

<h2><a name="status"></a>Status</h2>

<p>Current version is 2.0.1 It was developed for Lua 5.1, 5.0, 4.0.1 and 3.2.</p>

<h2><a name="download"></a>Download</h2>

<a href="http://luaforge.net/projects/luaprofiler/files/">LuaForge page</a>.
If you are using
<a href="http://luabinaries.luaforge.net">LuaBinaries</a>
